Abstract
First paragraph: In the past decade, the scientific and medical community has witnessed dramatic progress in epigenetics and has begun to understand some of the epigenetic mechanisms that contribute to human disease, particularly cancer. In January 2007, the third biannual workshop on Clinical Translation of Epigenetics in Cancer Therapeutics was held in Phoenix, Arizona. Its mission was to discuss the basic epigenetic mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and deregulation in cancer and evaluate the progress in translating new research findings in this field into effective anticancer therapies.
